Greetings once again, handball community! Last time I posted here the Europe update had just gone live. Thanks again to everyone who installed the game, wrote a review or messaged me 🙏

The headline this time: the game has stopped being only about the club.

You now play as a coach with your own name, your own contract and your own bank balance, which is separate from the club's. Your badges cost money from that balance and time off the calendar. Clubs won't look at you until your licence is good enough, so the early career is genuinely about working your way up rather than picking whoever you fancy... that is of course, if you pick lower level licences when starting a career.

Then there's the board, which is the part I enjoyed writing most. They set you targets in the summer and give you a grade every month based on where you're sitting versus where a club with your reputation and your wage bill ought to be sitting. Good letters and you can go and ask for a longer deal. Bad letters for long enough and you're gone, and then you're looking at a jobs list like everybody else, applying, waiting three days for an answer, and losing posts to coaches the game generated to compete with you.

I was slightly worried unemployment would feel like a fail state. It doesn't. Continue just keeps skipping days and stops the moment something you could actually apply for opens up.

The other thing that changed: you can hear the game now. Crowd noise while you play, a reaction to a goal, a sound for the timeout. It's off with one tap if you hate it. And European weeks are visibly European weeks as the app goes gold and navy for the Champions League or orange for the European League while that tie is the next thing in your diary, with a short film before your first one of the season, then back to normal afterwards.

Everything else is where it was: 12 countries, 31 competitions, 145 clubs, roughly 2,700 real players.

Same place as before, or search "Handball Manager" and look for the dark icon with the red logo :)

What I'd really like from you: FEEDBACK!!! Please do tell me if the board is too harsh or too soft, how the economy is going, any bugs that might appear. Play reviews reach me directly, mail me using the address in the Play Store page, or DM me here. I am well aware of your feedback and feature suggestions from the last post, such as training schedule, tactics, injuries and more, and will be working on them in the near future.

Cheers, and sorry in advance to whoever gets fired first! 🤭

Listen, i know people say Gidsel but does he get more attention for his position and for how many goals he gets? I wanted to know other peoples opinions i think other positions don't get enough attention because of how many goals they score, or how little they do. I think that pivots do a lot of work for outside positions with all blocking and everything. Only my opinion let me know. Thx

Hi,

I’m a male old boys player converting from playing center to pivot/ line player. I am finding the natural position for screming difficult when attacking.

So I was wondering whether you guys and girls know any good places to watch videos on the different playing systems?

Results :

Râmnicu Vâlcea 24 - 25 Corona Brașov

CSM Bucarest 38 - 40 Gloria Bistrița

The final will be played tomorrow

Anyone interested in playing handball weekly in Zagreb starting October 2026?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to help a 24-year-old Tunisian goalkeeper find a handball club in France or Spain

So I wanted to ask people who are familiar with the women’s handball scene: is it better to contact clubs directly, or should she look for an agent?

If anyone has any advice/leads, I’d really appreciate any

Thank you!
